A Mother's Love Determines How

A mother's love determines how
We love ourselves and others.
There is no sky we'll ever see
Not lit by that first love.

Stripped of love, the universe
Would drive us mad with pain;
But we are born into a world
That greets our cries with joy.

How much I owe you for the kiss
That told me who I was!
The greatest gift--a love of life--
Lay laughing in your eyes.

Because of you my world still has
The soft grace of your smile;
And every wind of fortune bears
The scent of your caress.

My Mother's Type 1 Diabetes

My mother's health deteriorated over a period of time due to type 1 diabetes, a disease in which the body does not produce insulin. This was a terrible ordeal for my mother because she had to learn to inject herself with insulin and to make matters worst she was so scared of needles and injections. Although she lived with this disease for many years, which affected her eyes and her feet, she eventually succumbed to this terrible disease after suffering a terrible stroke.
This left her speechless and the right side of her body went completely dead.
For seven long months she was given 24sevens care. She completely lost the will to live and
the good Lord eventually released her of all her sufferings.

To all who suffer this deadly disease, I implore you all, please get as much information as possible
to alleviate this killer. If I could do it all over again, my mother would still be here.

A Child Of Mine I'll lend you for a little while, A child of mine, He said, For you to love her while she lives, And mourn for when she's dead. It may be six or seven years. Or twenty-two, or three, But will you, till I come again, Take care of her for me? She'll bring her charms to gladden you, And should her stay be brief, You'll have her loving memories As solace to your grief.

Brothers and sisters, we don't want you to be ignorant about those who have died. We don't want you to grieve like other people who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and came back to life. We also believe that, through Jesus, God will bring back those who have died. They will come back to Jesus.

Someone once said that a half of a mother is better than none at all. In other words, if your mother is sick, disable or bedridden, you must cherish and love her. Take good care of her because the day you lose her you will realize that you have lost a treasure. The burden is even greater if she had been a caring and loving mother. Well, I have lost a very good mother and I intend to keep her memory alive.
Feel free to send your views and chat about things concerning 'the loss of a mother'. Let us remember our mothers in a happy way.

There is not a day that goes by that we
don't call her name.
Her love, laughter and courage were an
inspiration to all who loved you.
Lord look around your beautiful garden,
She won't be hard to find.
She has a face that's good and kind.
Lord when she turns around and smile, put
your arms around her and hold her.

We thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence
And often speak your name.
All we have are memories
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keep sake
With which we'll never part.
God has you in His keeping
We have you in our hearts.
